A signature bond, also known as a personal recognizance bond, is a type of bond that allows a defendant to be released from custody without having to pay any money or collateral. Instead, the defendant signs a document promising to appear in court and abide by the conditions of the bond. A signature bond is usually granted to low-risk defendants who have strong ties to the community and are not considered a flight risk. If the defendant fails to appear in court, the signature bond may be revoked, and the defendant may be arrested and returned to custody.
